I’ve never seen any other inanimate object convey nearly as much embarrassment as this sign.

Anyone for cricket? Wishing a happy birthday to Peter Davison, the brilliant Fifth Doctor!

Happy Doctor Who Day.  53 years today since it’s television premier on BBC1 (Saturday 23rd November, 1963).  This photo with surviving “Classic Who” Doctors (left to right: Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy, Tom Baker, Paul McGann, Peter Davison) was taken at Collectormania (Milton Keynes) in 2012.

Pictured above is Georgia Moffett Tennant with her father, her husband, and some guy named Peter, who I think might be her doctor or something. 

I didn’t go to the Long Island Who convention last week, but I listened to the Big Finish podcast and there was a fun bit of (possible) news in there. 

Nicholas Briggs was interviewing Paul McGann, Colin Baker, and Peter Davison. At one point Davison pressed Briggs (who is executive producer at Big Finish) to provide more work for his real-life daughter Georgia Moffatt—perhaps by making audio adventures with Jenny, the Doctor’s cloned daughter from the David Tennant episode of televised Doctor Who “The Doctor’s Daughter” broadcast in 2008. Initially Briggs replied in a neutral tone, but then he hemmed and hawed a bit, making noises about it being a good idea, and a possibility if certain things fall into place. As he went on, he then seemed to chide Davison slightly about confidential information, and then there is what sounds like an edit in the podcast and the foursome suddenly begin talking about something completely different.

Not everyone is a fan of that episode, of the character of Jenny in general principle. Personally, it’s not my favorite episode, but the character could certainly be used in interesting ways. I like the idea of a tough adventurer, who tries to use her parentage as a commodity to negotiate advantages during her adventures. I don’t know if that’s the approach they would take at Big Finish, but I’d bet cash money we’ll see the publication of a Doctor’s Daughter Adventures boxed set some time before the end of 2017.

The audience included myself, @thefirstintimeandspace and quite a few more Tumblr peeps.

The main @lidoctorwhocon segment starts around 28:55. The first squeak after Colin mentions Flip is me. ;)

About Paul McGann having to keep his involvement in NotD a secret (from this Q&A panel)

The Ultimate Time Lord: Peter’s like the annoyed older brother, Sylv and Colin are the troublesome middle children who can’t shut up, and Paul’s the kid brother who watches the ridiculous antics of his siblings with rapt attention.
